	Message: : Theatres suck, and unless you actually own one it's not going to be : profitable for you. Lowe's seems like a better place to work to me because : there's always something to do, tons to learn, and you get on the job : exercise. There's also experience you get there that you won't get serving : drinks or mopping up kid puke. : Had I been in your position I'd have gone to my supervisor or manager and : asked them their opinion and see if they had any comments or feedback. You : could say something to the effect of "I feel that I have been doing a : very good job here but so and so say this, what do you think? Do you have : any recommendations?" And if the manager doesn't care, or doesn't : have anything to say, then if anything happens in the future you could : have gone back and said "Well, we discussed this earlier and you : never mentioned that..." or whatever. If you want your boss to do : something for you, you've got to do something for him. I'm not saying wash : his car or anything, but if you can make him look better to his bosses, or : can make his department or store run better, the better it is for you. You : may think that sounds like bullshit, like brown-nosing, but its the way : the business world works my friend. : My first job at this restaurant I was pretty much verbally abused every day. : It took me forever to learn the menu, I was slow as hell, and I was always : messing up the line. For two months every night I worked the waitresses, : cooks, manager, and dishwashers cursed me under and over their breath. But : within four months, I was one of the best cooks there because of the : difficult environment I learned in. All those shit-talkers eventually quit : or were fired and I started making more; the manager and the owner *did* : care and things went smooth until the day I left - two years after : starting. : Reading your post reminds me of a few guys I've fired. It comes down to this: : when you're slinging shit on a warehouse floor somewhere you are at the : bottom of the food chain; the company doesn't owe you jack except two : breaks, a lunch, a paycheck, and a relatively safe working environment. : That's why people that do this typically aren't making that much money. : You are an unskilled and easily replaceable asset, you are not a beautiful : and unique snowflake, nowhere in your hiring packet does it say anyone has : to be nice to you or agree with your opinion of how you work. : From here you can do two things. : You can go through the motions each day, doing only what you have to to get : that check OR you can make yourself so valuable that when it comes down to : it, they can't afford to lose you. That's what I did with the job I have : now, I took every opportunity at overtime, to cross-train, to learn the : other departments, to get certified on as much equipment as possible, etc. : The more difficult it is to replace you the more your manager is going to : care about you and what you do. : Although everyone loves the drama of telling their boss to f--k off, the : truth is all you're doing is burning bridges behind you. It would have : been to your advantage to give a two week notice so you'd still be : eligible for rehire in case your next job is even worse. : So I guess no, I would not have done the same.
